Brakes / Suspension / Steering

Where your car makes contact with the road it is crucial that it makes contact safely. Just because a car is heavy doesn’t mean it is contacting the road properly and safely.

Almost everyone remembers their brakes need to be replaced when they hear that obnoxious squeal when their foot presses down on the pedal. Most people brush it off until ‘next week’ which usually turns into next season. Did you know that your brakes should be replaced well before you hear that squeal? Putting it off for weeks after first hearing it is even worse, both for safety and repair costs.

Quarterly inspections of your brakes will allow you to know when to change them. Brakes are two parts, pads and rotors, pads are usually easy and cost effective to change. Rotors can really start to add to the cost of getting your brakes working safely and properly again. When you hear that squeal, think of it as a pin destroying your rotors. Inspections are critical for your brakes to work properly and save on costly unnecessary repairs, besides you wouldn’t drive your vehicle without brakes would you? Shantok Motors is able to quickly inspect your brakes as well as replace and fix them properly.

The suspension is what really keeps a car in contact with the road properly. A worn out strut or shock will make it so your tire does not remain flat on the road. Roads are bumpy, even newly paved ones, you might not feel all the bumps because of your suspension, when you start to feel those bumps your suspension is going, and your tires are not contacting the road properly. Vehicles with worn out shocks, bushings, and ball joints put into an emergency situation requiring heavy braking or quick steering will not be able to stop or steer properly and result in a very bad situation, even wrecking the vehicle or causing serious injuries. Shantok Motors is able to inspect, replace, and repair any suspension part on a vehicle.
